I haven’t read the whole thread but I’m going to put on my conspiracy hat...
Infect the west, if not the world with an HIV hybrid that can be spread like the common cold and flu. It scores a double-win as it kills off your unproductive elderly, and it creates a need for whichever medicine you choose to produce.
If it’s a virus that doesn’t overwhelm the immune system but sticks around, people would need continuous treatment, like HIV.
Or, it could just be a vector to weaken the immune system in preparation for the release of the real bug.
/conspiracy off...been a long week.
Others have thought the same as you, and they are very intelligent people.
I don’t think you need to apologize for drawing plausible scenarios, especially those that have been partially supported with facts. No need for tin foil, just a mind that gathers and weighs facts, then positing plausible explanations.
I always find facts on both sides of the argument. The ones I find that purport to debunk this investigator’s findings are not even near a quality that I would be ready to vote as a member of a jury. In fact, I find contrary findings in related matters to be of very low quality and beneath standards of science that I am used to expecting. But we live in a world of climate change science where politics affects conclusions and not actual science.
